CHAPTER XXIV

However, instead of listening to her advice, the princess walked forward with a cat's steps, until she reached the back of the rockery beside the two men. Ruo'er didn't dare to follow, so she had to stomp her feet in place.

Lu Xiaohan leaned against the rockery, listening carefully to the conversation between the two, although she couldn't see their faces clearly in the dark night, but the voice was familiar.

The crown prince said sharply: "In today's form, it is imperative to get rid of him, and it is clear that it depends on the position of the seventh brother." ”

Then there was a brief silence, and then a hesitant voice sounded: "Although the younger brother has been on the same page with him for many years, he has never thought about it in the long run, and now that he has a huge power, it may not be easy to get rid of him." ”

"It's man-made," the prince's voice was firm and ruthless, "Although he is deeply rooted in the court, this king is also the prince of the East Palace and the foundation of the court, in the final analysis, this world belongs to this king after all, if you want to divide his power, the focus is not nothing." ”

"But he just accepted the daughter of the Fu family, and he has another trump card in his hand."

"Lost the east corner of the Sangyu harvest, it is right that he has more support from the Fu family, but don't forget, he also offended a lot of big families by choosing concubines and concubines this time, behind those daughters who were not selected, there must be complaints, if we bring them over, it will not be worse than the Fu family." The prince's eyes shook, "As for the Lu family, her disagreement with the third child is already well known, and now he has accepted two more concubines, so I think there is even more dislike between the two." In this way, if this king makes it difficult for him, the Lu family may not be able to help. ”

Xiao Han heard this and completely understood all the relationships between the characters, so she was shocked, she knew that the world was sinister and inevitably there would be fights and killings, but she never thought that the fratricidal thing would happen to her husband, and she would be implicated. She felt the hairs stand on end all over her body.

"Lu's ......" Yan Yan's voice seemed to be a little uneasy, "The relationship between her and the third brother is very delicate, I can't tell whether it is dislike or closeness, but I think if the third brother is in trouble, she should not fall into the ground." ”

Xiao Han heard him say this, and a trace of relief seeped into her heart, she and Xiao Yan can be said to be ignorant, but in the end, they made friends by mistake, and even he understood her.

"Speaking of which, seventh brother, you are soft-hearted!" The crown prince was vaguely impatient, stepped forward and approached him and said, "You can't stay out of this matter, there has never been a real bystander in the struggle for imperial power, between this king and the third child, you must choose one of them." ”

After the prince put down his words, he brushed his sleeves away, leaving his words in place and frowning.

Xiao Han's heart is up and down, the prince wants to bring down the king of words, this matter is not a small fight, it is related to the life of Qingtian and people. She suddenly felt restless, biting her fingers and not knowing what to do, and after a moment of panic, she looked to see that the Seven Kings were long gone.

Back at the banquet, she deliberately glanced at the opposite Yan and the prince, and the ordinary smiling faces of the two seemed to have nothing happened, which made her feel even more creepy, and she was immediately caged in the shadow of the conspiracy.

On the way back to the house, Xiao Yu saw that she was preoccupied, which was obviously very different from when she went earlier, so she tentatively accosted her: "Today, the imperial grandmother values you so much in front of everyone, why do you still sulk?" ”

It's a pity that Xiao Han was thinking hard about Fang Cai, and he was far away, and he didn't hear his voice at all.

"Lu Xiaohan." He called her in a louder voice, his tone already a little impatient.

"Huh?" Only then did she come back to her senses, and reflexively looked left and right, and after a few seconds, she found that it was the whisper calling herself, so she lowered her face again and said unhappily: "Why are you screaming so loudly, you want to scare people to death." ”

"This king has spoken several words to you, and I can't hear a single word of what you think."

"You spoke to me?" She didn't believe it, could it be that she was so distracted just now? "I ...... I want to ask you a question! ”

"Say." He always cherishes words like gold.

"What if...... If one day the emperor drives Hexi to the west, do you think the prince will embarrass you? ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu glanced at her, and then lowered his head and carelessly straightened his cuffs: "For no reason, how do you think of this king." ”

"You answer me!" She unconsciously raised her voice when she was in a hurry, but she immediately noticed her gaffe, so she coughed her throat to relieve her embarrassment, "I mean...... What if, what if. I also saw the banquet in the palace last time, the prince not only discorded with you, but also regarded you as a thorn in the flesh, thinking of a way to poke your backbone, and now there is the emperor pressing the position, you have nothing to do for the time being, but after all, the prince will ascend the throne one day, and when that time comes......" she glanced at him, "how can he give you good fruit to eat." ”

She was a little apprehensive in her heart, wondering if such a question would anger him. However, he didn't respond, still rolling over his cuffs.

"I'm just, it's just that I happened to see the prince again today, so I suddenly had this worry."

"If he wants to poke the backbone of this king, will this king poke him with his backbone exposed?" He suddenly spoke slowly, as if he was saying inconsequential words such as rain and snow.

Xiao Han was a little surprised by his attitude, "What do you mean...... Already wary of him? ”

"Being in the royal family, living on people, and also on people's risks, who can live lightly? If this king does not guard against him, I am afraid that what he is talking to you now is a pile of white bones. ”

She looked at his unfazed behavior, and inevitably felt a little more curious in her heart, which side of this usually silent and dictatorial man is his true face?

The train traveled to the gate of the palace, and Concubine Fu and Concubine Zhou got out of the car with the maid in her arms, and stood aside waiting for the prince and Concubine Lu to get off.

After getting out of the car, he tidied up his clothes, but he still didn't see any movement behind him for a long time, so he turned around and lifted the curtain and urged: "You are still stunned." ”

Xiao Han sat in place and looked at him fixedly, and asked him what he asked: "Whisper, if someone really attacks you one day, can you really deal with it?" ”

He looked back at her with a faint look in his eyes, and gradually a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, get out of the car." With that, he stretched out his hand to her.

Xiao Han looked at his outstretched palm blankly, and motioned for himself to hand it over as well, and suddenly felt a little aggrieved in his heart, because he had never held her hand.

"What's the daze, it's not down yet."

She steadied herself and slowly put her hand in his palm, a moment of touch that made her heart tighten suddenly. He grabbed her with his backhand, and with a little force, he took her out of the car and ran her over.

Xiao Han's shyness had not yet retreated, but her hand was suddenly thrown away forcefully, she immediately looked up at him, and followed his gaze to find the answer. Xu Yuntingting stood in front of the door, her eyes seemed to be frightened.

"Lord Wang...... You're back. Her voice trembled a little because she saw Xiao Yu holding hands with Lu Xiaohan.

"The princess sprained her waist a while ago, and the king was afraid that she would have difficulty moving, so he helped her-"

He was a little embarrassed, and explained in a low voice: "The prince and his sisters have worked hard, Yun'er will go inside to see the tea first." Xu Yun didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then turned around and entered the mansion.

Xiao Han secretly sighed in his heart, being favored is different, he dared to dump the prince's face in front of so many people.
